Popular Reviews

9/10. A mix of unique creativity but with a slight feel of nostalgia is what I get with the Byrds. I’d rate this album between the other two. I think they have a bizarre mix of what I’d consider fairly “basic” chill music (Goin Back, Wasn’t born to follow) and experimental chill music (Space Odyssey, Moog Raga).

5/10. Nothing special for me. Wasn't terrible, but nothing stuck out. Added 'Could You Be the One' to the playlist.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down

3/10. Spiders made the playlist. There were some moments where I thought “wait a minute, does everybody need a mother fucker?” and then rethought that as loud monster-like noises rang from my speakers

All Ratings (544)

The Clash by The Clash
Feb 26 2024

6/10. Some great songs but as an album gets a bit stale with no change in pace, same screaming voice. Not so much my thing. But would like a song or two in the mix amongst other genres. specifically Janie Jones, London’s Burning and Career Opportunities.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 27 2024

7/10. Some familiarity / nostalgia with songs on the album (toward the beginning) may cause biases in this rating. Had highs and lows. Enjoyed the instrumental (guitar) throughout, lyrically and other pieces were hit and miss for me but I’d say more hit than miss.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Feb 28 2024

9/10. Loved the pace change throughout the album. Instrumentally was awesome. Don’t love Robert Plant’s singing style over a full album or else it would have gotten 10/10.

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 29 2024

5/10. A lot of the album was good but the 3-4 songs of constant screaming that made me feel like I should be in a weight room I don’t want to be in was too much for me. A few classics hold it up to 5 though.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 01 2024

9/10. Was soothing and fun at the same time. I could listen to this all day long. Repetiveness in some of the songs could be seen as mundane by some but I didn’t mind it. Had enough variety and clear talent to me. Was leaning 8/10 and then Smoke on the Water played and I bumped it to a 9 for that classic.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 04 2024

6/10. To be fair I may have to relisten as I was dealing with Aycen a lot of the album but overall it felt pretty bland when I was listening. Seemed to be decent tempo and flow together well but I’m not super motivated to give it a better listen.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 05 2024

10/10. Great vibes. Great mix of tones in the songs. Top notch.

Mar 06 2024

10/10. Perfect. Very nostalgic for some reason even though I don’t recall listening to Bob Dylan. Makes you want to just be in the moment. Harmonica performances solidified the 10 score.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 07 2024

8/10. I thought the album was super strong throughout. Sinister Purpose probably my favorite song on the album. Bad Moon Rising of course a classic. I don’t think I was as blown away by anything in this album as I’ve been for my 5 stars (but it toed the line for a 9/10).

Repeater by Fugazi
Mar 08 2024

5/10. The singing was unfortunate but not overpowering enough to where I didn’t enjoy other elements. I liked a lot of the instrumental elements, especially the transitions from song to song and the bass guitar. But it wasn’t impressive enough to take the total product above a 5 more me.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 11 2024

9/10. I was leaning 8 up until Pet Sounds. It felt like that song allowed me to better digest what they were doing instrumentally throughout the album.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 12 2024

7/10. Need to give it a better listen through but good vibes in the background.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Mar 13 2024

4/10. It was fine but boring and a bit stale. Nothing I’d say I’d listen to again. Had rom-com soundtrack vibes.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Mar 14 2024

8/10. It did feel like I was listening to a piece of art. Very cool. And I got a good laugh from “Oh Lord, Give Us More Money”. There were some goofy vibes to it that I enjoyed but maybe held me back from giving it a 9 or 10. But very fun listen.

S&M by Metallica
Mar 15 2024

5/10. I liked some of the theatrics but it got pretty stale overall. Felt that band had a lot of range potential instrumentally but more often than not stuck with the same rather than showing off the variation they showed in certain songs.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 19 2024

9/10. Great story telling. Very fun album with some classics.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 20 2024

10/10. Next level vocals. Lots of range throughout, didn’t feel repetitive to me. Man in the Mirror is one of the greatest songs of all time.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 21 2024

9/10. I like this album even better than Born in the USA overall because of the flow and story telling feeling like it all meshed into one. Individual songs not as good but album better if that makes sense. I’m bought in on the Bruce hype. Didn’t realize he had the depth he has because I just always hear about the big party his shows bring.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Mar 22 2024

7/10. I liked the variation but some of the longer songs did start to feel repetitive. Overall, I enjoyed it!

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 25 2024

10/10. I listened to this album in a different head space and setting a few years ago and think I graded it like 7/10. Listening to it alone in my current head space gave me a different perspective on it. It’s fantastic if you take the time to truly digest it all. Zombie and Mistake made the 5 ⭐️ song list for me.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Mar 26 2024

7/10. Fun album. Lots of good songs, but as the album goes on it starts to feel a little like the same short song over again. I did end up putting “Oh Why?” on the 5 ⭐️list because I thought the album was good enough to have one song on the list and that was my favorite I think due to the trumpets.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Mar 27 2024

6/10. Feel like if I could see how this album was made I may have a better appreciation? I liked it. The flow was good. But it felt computer generated at times and less artsy to me because of that. The Ferris Bueller quoting in the second song made me laugh.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 28 2024

6/10. Was leaning 5 throughout because I thought it was overall good but nothing stood out to me. Some cleverness caught on for me toward the end in songs like Higher Hell but overall still not my favorite.

Apr 01 2024

10/10. Felt like a more experimental Beatles to me. Loved it. Moonchild got a little too experimental but 21st Century Schizoid Man and Court of Crimson King both made 5 ⭐️ song list.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 02 2024

8/10. Great vibes. Kind of Beatles / Beach Boys vibes. Creativity felt a little lower than the Beatles though. Put Brief Candles and Time of the Season on the 5⭐️ song list.

American Pie by Don McLean
Apr 04 2024

8/10. Talented song writing, talented singer. Guitar was soothing but not a creative standout for me.

Risque by CHIC
Apr 05 2024

7/10. Groovy and fun. Put ‘Can’t stand to love you’ on the 5 ⭐️ song list. Lyrically it got a little stale for me and every song did start to sound the same as the album went on but enjoyed it overall.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 08 2024

10/10. 4 out of 7 songs made the 5⭐️ song list. I did enjoy the beginning of the album more than the back half. But was just overall great vibes.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 09 2024

9/10. I think it had all the elements for a great album. Instrumentally great. Pace changes throughout. Loved it.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 10 2024

8/10. Very fun album all the way through. Toward the beginning/middle of the album it started to feel a little repetitive but some uniqueness came out toward the end raising it from 7 to 8 for me. Are You Happy and Nine Pound Hammer made the 5⭐️ list.

Apr 11 2024

1/10. I like to think I’m developing in allowing all sorts of music to drive a variety of emotions and get a feel for what is being brought with different styles of music. But…what the fuck was this?

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Apr 12 2024

4/10. Not my thing but it got more palatable as it went on. Some instrumental pieces I did like in the middle and the album felt well connected song to song which was cool.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 15 2024

9/10. All around fantastic album. Put a few of the songs on the 5⭐️ list.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Apr 16 2024

8/10. Very good. Easy to groove to. Instrumental was great but at times a little repetitive. The Wizard made the 5 ⭐️ list for me. Think it was my favorite song on the album.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Apr 17 2024

8/10. Not super consistent for me but the highs were very high. Rip It Up, I Can’t Help Myself and Hokoyo made my 5⭐️ list.

Apr 18 2024

5/10. Good beats. Fairly impressive for this type of music, but this type of music simply doesn’t hit me usually. I enjoyed some beats but prefer bands/instruments.

Hotel California by Eagles
Apr 19 2024

6/10. Not my favorite. Mostly pretty basic. I did put the title song on the 5 ⭐️ list though. It deserves that for sure.

2112 by Rush
Apr 22 2024

8/10. Very good instrumentally and liked the overall pace. Finished strong I thought. I added Lessons and Tears to 5⭐️ song list.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 23 2024

7/10. Super interesting album. The first 3 songs imparticular. The first two I couldn’t decide if I loved them or if it was too much for me, which i think was good. Added Lazarus to my 5⭐️ song list. But after that it started to get less interesting for me.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Apr 24 2024

8/10. Started off strong. Runaway Child, Runnin Wild was a top notch 5⭐️. Added two others as well. But as the album went on it did feel like the same song over and over eventually.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 25 2024

10/10. Not a bad song on the album. Almost put them all on the 5⭐️ list. Maybe was missing that “wow” factor track as I was leaning a 9, but too good and consistent all the way through to not get a 10.

Apr 26 2024

7/10. Was enough nostalgic feels at the beginning and more fun vibes (One Hundred Years from Now and Nothing was Delivered) at the end to boost it to a 7.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 29 2024

7/10. The most up and down album so far. High highs and low lows. Probably the band that I like their mainstream stuff and don’t like their deep cut stuff the most (outside of Nirvana, but I like Guns N Roses more than them all around).

Back In Black by AC/DC
Apr 30 2024

7/10. A classic album for sure with a lot of guitar talent but I think less musical genius than they get credit for. And Brian Johnson’s voice annoys me for this long of a period listening to him. Still too many classic songs to not give it a 7.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 03 2024

10/10. Every song goes to the 5⭐️ list (if it wasn’t already on it). Very well could be my favorite album of all time.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
May 06 2024

8/10. Great album. Seemed structured but still unique. Back at the Chicken Shack and Minor Chant made the 5⭐️ playlist.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 07 2024

6/10. Beginning of the album was boring and not my thing. Was leaning 3-4 at the beginning of the album but it picked up. Enjoyed some of the later songs that were higher paced and slightly different singing style.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
May 08 2024

7/10. Feel good album. Nice vibes.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 09 2024

7/10. Some really bad stuff on this album held it back a lot to nearly a 6. But there was a lot of good ones as well: If you have to ask, Funky Monks and Under the Bridge all made the 5⭐️ list.

May 10 2024

9/10. Felt like it brought elements from different genres. Really enjoyed it. Last of the Steam Powered Train might be my favorite song since starting the project.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 13 2024

8/10. Great album. Vibes were good. Not consistent enough to get 9 or 10 - but enjoyed throughout. 4 songs made the 5 ⭐️ list.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
May 14 2024

7/10. Not sure how but this album was very interesting and boring at times. Pyramid Song and Life in a Glasshouse made the 5⭐️ list, though the album was quite consistent.

Technique by New Order
May 16 2024

6/10. Not really my thing. The singing style made it feel corny to me a bit but I did hear some good beats through. And Run made the 5⭐️ song list. It got better as it went a bit with some songs having less electronics and monotone singing.

The Man Who by Travis
May 17 2024

7/10. Thought it was a slow start but ended up being very good. Put 4 songs on the playlist.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 20 2024

10/10. Great relaxation album with enough complexity to not bore you. Almost every song was put on the 5 ⭐️ playlist.

May 21 2024

8/10. Nostalgic, fun vibes for me with the Irish tone. Added a few on the 5 star playlist! I enjoyed the album throughout.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
May 22 2024

7/10. Some classics. Great energy. Very good guitarists. Southbound probably my favorite song on the album, but put Boys are Back in Town on the playlist as well for the nostalgia of that song.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 23 2024

7/10. A little too much repetition but when I learned how it was made that made sense. Loved a lot of the beats though and put Mutual Slump and Organ Donor on the 5 Star playlist.

Purple Rain by Prince
May 27 2024

9/10. The best parts of the album simply outweigh the bad. Great voice. Great instrumental throughout. A couple of songs missed me, but most of the album was added to the 5 star playlist.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
May 28 2024

9/10. Great album. Toed the line for a 10 but not quite enough “wow” factor. Great songs throughout though. About even with Pretzel Logic.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
May 29 2024

7/10. There are great beats throughout and Snoop and company bring some good style to the rap. But a lot of the lyrics are pretty trash. And certain songs were unlistenable. Stranded on Death Row and Nothin but a G Thang made the 5 star list.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
May 30 2024

9/10. I enjoyed the variety of styles throughout the album. Felt creative to me and lots of songs made the 5 star list.

White Light by Gene Clark
May 31 2024

8/10. You need the right mindset going in, but very good. Some nostalgia here for me. White Light (3rd track) started to pull it altogether for me. Ended up putting about half the songs on the 5 star playlist. Big fan of the harmonica per usual from me.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jun 03 2024

8/10. Some really good stuff throughout but super inconsistent for me. Even in individual songs, I found myself loving pieces and disliking other pieces. Still, put Speed King, Child in Time and Flight of the Rat all on the 5 star list. Lots of fun, creative stuff throughout.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 04 2024

8/10. Some classics here but overall I enjoyed the change in pace throughout. Was fun. The song “Mother” threw me for a loop but other than that, pretty good stuff!

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jun 05 2024

9/10. Great combination of beats and rap style. Had some nostalgia with the iconic 90s style rap but with way better beats than what I knew to be the mainstream hip hop at the time.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jun 06 2024

9/10. Was between 8 and 9. This didn’t stand out on one specific but I really enjoyed the balance between creativity and chill vibes. And almost every single song was enjoyable.

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 07 2024

9/10. New York State of Mind played and I thought that was going to be the tip of the hype but the album only got better from there for me. Rapping was consistent throughout but slight uniqueness in the beats helped solidify the score for me.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 10 2024

9/10. I'm going vegan. Kidding. But the album was fantastic throughout. It has a unique flavor to it, and overall I enjoyed the pace, beats, rhythm, etc throughout the entire album. The title song was great rhythmically but going back and forth on if that one gets on the 5 star playlist. Lots of others leading up to it for sure made it though (Rusholme Ruffians, I Want the Ones I Can't Have, Nowhere Fast, Well I Wonder).

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 11 2024

9/10. Overall this was a great album. Beat & rap combinations are top notch. And there is some uniqueness in their style. I am actually surprised they weren't more mainstream with this style. It does run long and starts to get a little bit stale for me -- songs start to all sound the same.

Jun 12 2024

9/10. A mix of unique creativity but with a slight feel of nostalgia is what I get with the Byrds. I’d rate this album between the other two. I think they have a bizarre mix of what I’d consider fairly “basic” chill music (Goin Back, Wasn’t born to follow) and experimental chill music (Space Odyssey, Moog Raga).

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jun 13 2024

6/10. While it was a unique listening experience I found a lot of it to be a bit annoying. That said — I thought the talent was clear. The Elvis-like voice with this style of music was very interesting. Added Dynamite Lover to the playlist because I thought it encompassed a lot of the positives of the album and less of the negatives (imo).

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jun 14 2024

10/10. I’d love this album listening while I focus. I’d love this album listening passively while I’ll chill. I loved this album listening intently. Unique to me. Added the first 3 to the 5 ⭐️ playlist.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 17 2024

6/10. It had some good guitar moments and some slight nostalgia at times. But overall it wasn't super interesting to me and found myself not really indulging in it much at all.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 18 2024

9/10. Was leaning 8 to start but I kept adding songs to the playlist throughout. I like that they seem to have inspiration from a variety of genres.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 19 2024

10/10. I feel like they fully find themselves in their second album here. The first album was good but this seemed like the start of their run of masterpieces.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jun 20 2024

5/10. Her voice is great and unique. Stylistically there is some clever pieces to the album. But overall thematically and lyrically corny to me. And a lot of it got dull.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Jun 21 2024

10/10. Loved a lot of the lyrics. Joni is one of my favorites lyrically in general and the style is so unique with amazing vibes. The frontend of this album specifically was super enjoyable thematically.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jun 24 2024

8/10. Insane talent. Great voice. Fairly unique. For me, personally, the similar sound from song to song began to get boring for my taste.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jun 25 2024

10/10. A little more going on instrumentally than in Five Leaves Left, which I enjoyed. Slightly more upbeat with the full band - but still super chill music to vibe too for relaxation. If you made me choose, I think I'd choose Bryter Layter to hear more frequently, but have higher appreciation for Five Leaves Left.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 26 2024

8/10. I was between 7 and 8 here but trying to error on the side of pessimism. Their quirkiness hurts them in some songs, like Kiss Off, where I was starting to lean toward a six. But overall, the quirkiness pays off. And there is a good enough balance and good songs throughout the album to bump it to an 8.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jun 27 2024

7/10. After two songs I was leaning a 3/10. Which emphasizes how unbalanced I thought the album was. Had some really good stuff (Hussell, Boyz, World Town, Paper Planes) and some horrible stuff (Bamboo Banga, 20 Dollar, XR2) for me. I think because I’m not big on the electronic pieces. What took it from 6 to 7 was that Jimmy and Mango Pickle Down River were fun and kept me engaged.

7/10. Very good voice. But got a little stale for me, and I didn’t notice anything unique that stood out. That said I did enjoy it because of the talent. Had some MJ or Prince vibes but with far less unique, game changing attributes. Added Wishing Well and Seven More Days to the playlist.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 01 2024

8/10. Felt like I was a kid in the pool listening to mom’s music again. Some of it was nostalgic but a lot of it I thought was really good. Slow start but enjoyed: Time after Time, All Through the Night, Yeah Yeah Yeah. Short album, but very fun.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jul 02 2024

8/10. The beats are awesome. The rapping can be super fun/funny - but overtime their voices can be a bit much/annoying for me. But very fun album.

Jul 03 2024

8/10. I enjoyed it. Had a little less focus with kids running around while I listened but liked the mix and vibes. Put Someone Somewhere and Promised You a Miracle on the 5 star list.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 04 2024

7/10. Not completely my thing -- but I found it impressive. Each song was put together nicely and fairly unique and his voice is great.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jul 05 2024

7/10. May have to relisten some time as I lost some focus - but it was creative. Added Visions of You to the playlist.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 08 2024

8/10. I liked every single song. Voice and saxophone combo are great. But lacks creativity a bit for me to go up to 9.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 09 2024

8/10. Very enjoyable. Calming. Gets a little bit repetitive at times in my head sometimes which holds it back from the 9.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 10 2024

8/10. Very good. Was slower than I expected but ended on a high note with Everything’s Not Lost, bumping it from 7 to 8.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jul 11 2024

8/10. I thought it had a bit more consistency than Kala, though the beginning of the album was stronger than the back half.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 12 2024

10/10. Up there for best album of all time. Classic after classic.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jul 15 2024

8/10. Terrordome was awesome. Beats were great. Rapping was good and I enjoyed some of the approach on using humor to get points across. Also like the instrumental logs between some songs.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 16 2024

10/10. Title track and Sara two of my favorite songs of all time - and the rest of the album stayed consistently great. Thought this might come out to a 9 - but it was a 10 and I added more Fleetwood Mac to the playlist.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 18 2024

10/10. Continued on from “With the Beatles” album with another top notch album with even more creativity involved.

Future Days by Can
Jul 19 2024

9/10. Very unique & interesting. Topped the solo Holgar Czukay stuff I listened to previously fairly easily. Much more consistently good. This style of music is tougher for me to rate but overall I was a big fan.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jul 22 2024

7/10. Very good overall but not really my style. The hits are the hits for a reason from my POV. Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth all made the 5 star playlist.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 23 2024

9/10. Great song after great song. More consistent than Green River. Could have put every song on the playlist, love the style they bring. Ended up putting 5/7 songs on the playlist.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jul 24 2024

9/10. Very unique sounds while keeping a steady rhythm on each track, made for a very interesting listen through. Added History Song, 80s Life, Kingdom of Doom, Behind the Sun, Nature Springs and the title track to the playlist.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 25 2024

3/10. Not my thing at all. Bored me and at times annoyed me. It’s palpable though and I could see it being for others.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Jul 26 2024

6/10. I thought it was good but not really my thing.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 29 2024

9/10. Near 10 level. Kept getting better as the album went. Expected the great guitar playing, but the smooth delivery was unexpected and I loved mostly every song. (Just a few misses for me).

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 30 2024

7/10. Felt basic at first but ended up really enjoying a lot of songs throughout.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jul 31 2024

8/10. Amazing voice. Good mix of music. Loved the country western vibe songs. Some of the “jazzy” ones with the sax were also good. But there were some boring ones in the mix as well.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Aug 01 2024

9/10. Awesome, unique voice. Has her own style too. Holds up for 60+ years!

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 02 2024

7/10. Fun album that also feels a bit corny to me. Edge of 6/7 but went pessimist.

Tapestry by Carole King
Aug 05 2024

10/10. Classic, great energy, great voice, fun, great instrumentally. Full package.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 06 2024

9/10. Great vibes and some classics in the mix. I wouldn't say there is anything "wow!" about it, which is why I went with a 9, but enjoyed the entire thing. Typically take points off for covers, but they made 'Heard it Through the Grapevine' their own with the guitar solos.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Aug 07 2024

6/10. I did like it, but nothing stood out to me as outstanding music. Added Ooh Las Vegas to the playlist.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 08 2024

6/10. Really liked the first song but got a bit dull from there.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Aug 09 2024

7/10. Some good, some ok. Added a couple of songs to the playlist.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 12 2024

10/10. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the less popular songs of the album. Tiny Dancer is a great song and probably not in the top 3-4 songs. Added all but the last song to the playlist. Anyone who says this album isn’t great is clueless.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Aug 13 2024

9/10. Great mix of classics and good melody songs.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Aug 14 2024

9/10. Fantastic all the way through. Great shift of pace as well. Added about half the album to the playlist.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Aug 15 2024

10/10. It’s cool to listen and picture them playing off each other naturally.

Aug 16 2024

7/10. Some nostalgia with a few of the songs and some cleverness to the album overall but didn’t have the vibes for me.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 19 2024

9/10. Very clever album that flowed extremely well from song to song. Added 4-5 songs to the playlist as well.

The White Album by Beatles
Aug 20 2024

10/10. Rolled out a new scale today and this sits on “iconic” levels. It runs a bit long, but the variety is so good.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Aug 21 2024

6/10. A bit corny. But I can appreciate it. The background singing and saxophone were enjoyable as well.

Aug 22 2024

8/10. Really two albums, both very good but stretch on a bit. Entertained throughout though.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 23 2024

3/10. Throughout I went from moments of "a little boring but I can vibe to this" to moments of "what in the hell is this creepy stuff"? Harsh, as I know others may see art in this, but it's overall not my thing.

Aug 26 2024

6/10. Some good songs but a bit boring after the first 3.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 27 2024

9/10. Incredible pianist and reading the story behind it made it even more incredible. Hard time rating a one instrument solo performance like this — but for the type of performance I can’t imagine it getting much better.

Aug 29 2024

7/10. Was choosing between 6 and 7 early - then started thinking between 7 and 8 by the end of it. Enjoyed throughout.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 30 2024

8/10. Seemed this album was for a film. Great all around vibes throughout.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Sep 02 2024

9/10. Was leaning 8, but the entire album is clever. The dark humor in the lyrics is great.

Blur by Blur
Sep 03 2024

6/10. I did like a lot of it but was inconsistent for me and got bored at certain parts.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Sep 04 2024

9/10. A Sailor’s Life is one of the best songs I’ve heard in this process, and I enjoyed majority of the songs around it.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Sep 06 2024

5/10. Wasn’t my thing overall. A couple good instrumental moments. Did add one song to the playlist.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Sep 09 2024

8/10. Great album. Loved the instrumental songs. Attack El Robot! Attack! one of my favorites I’ve heard I think.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Sep 10 2024

5/10. “Meh” overall but it had ok moments and Bitter Sweet Symphony intro is great.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Sep 11 2024

6/10. I liked the creativity but it felt a bit slow to develop song to song for me and the vocals were “meh”.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Sep 12 2024

6/10. Very strange and some of it was bad. But I found a lot of it to be extremely entertaining and creative.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 13 2024

6/10. Had some good moments, I think I don’t vibe well with the vocals of Echo and the Bunnymen generally.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 16 2024

6/10. It was ok. A few didn’t hit for me at all, and it got a bit repetitive. Put Alive on the playlist for representation.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Sep 17 2024

7/10. Very pleasant. Loved 'Take Five'. Overall, just soothing though and nothing stood out as 'outstanding' to me.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Sep 18 2024

8/10. More consistent but highs aren’t quite as high as the ‘Black Sabbath’ titled album.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Sep 19 2024

8/10. Great album. Little dance party.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Sep 20 2024

10/10. Great creativity and voice. Large majority of songs went to the playlist.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Sep 24 2024

7/10. Enjoyed it. Great voice.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Sep 25 2024

9/10. Fantastic album. Almost every song made the playlist. Loved it.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Sep 26 2024

10/10. 9.5/10 on the new scale. Nearly every song was great. Entire album made the playlist.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Sep 27 2024

9/10. A bit of a slower start than the last one but fantastic all around. Great story telling, great jams. Loved it.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Sep 30 2024

8/10. Some classics. Great album overall.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 01 2024

6/10. Had some goodness to it. Added 2 songs to the playlist. But a lot of parts were just “meh”.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Oct 02 2024

9/10. Great album. Sail Away is fantastic and no real drop off from there.

Oct 03 2024

5/10. Nothing special for me. Wasn't terrible, but nothing stuck out. Added 'Could You Be the One' to the playlist.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Oct 04 2024

7/10. Some really good parts. Some meh parts. But the really good outweighed the meh for me. 4-5 songs made the playlist.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Oct 07 2024

7/10. Some good songs. But it didn’t stand out as great for me.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Oct 08 2024

7/10. Had some good songs, but didn't stand out to me as 'fantastic'. Good album.

Stankonia by OutKast
Oct 09 2024

7/10. Some great songs. But some meh also.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Oct 10 2024

7/10. Loved the creativity. Singing style isn't my thing. Not a bad voice just not my style of voice.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Oct 11 2024

6/10. Pretty good but got to be a bit mundane.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 14 2024

9/10. The best Bowie album of the 3 I've listened to by a fairly wide margin.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 15 2024

10/10. Charted as 'Iconic' or 9.66/10. Every song was added to my playlist. Finding that if there was one musician I had to listen to forever, Miles Davis may be it.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 16 2024

4/10. Nothing stood out as exciting for me.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 17 2024

7/10. Not consistent for me but some good ones that made the playlist and had good creativity.

Oct 18 2024

8/10. Great stuff. Was leaning 7 but ended strong for an 8.

Oct 21 2024

6/10. Had some good songs (3 made the playlist) but most of the album was pretty “meh”

C'est Chic by CHIC
Oct 22 2024

8/10. Great album. It does start off hotter than it concludes, but still added most the songs to the playlist.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 23 2024

8/10. Great album. Not as good as the first two I heard by him: Born in the USA and Nebraska. But still consistently good throughout.

One World by John Martyn
Oct 25 2024

8/10. Had some Nick Drake vibes in there. Really enjoyed this one.

Harvest by Neil Young
Oct 28 2024

10/10. 9.7/10 on the new scale. Most of the songs made the playlist. Sat between Nick Drake and Bob Dylan vibes.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Oct 30 2024

9/10. Most of the songs made the playlist. Great album.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Oct 31 2024

6/10. Had some uniqueness to it but didn’t stick out on creativity for me.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Nov 01 2024

9/10. Most of the songs made the playlist. Great album. Will listen to more of them.

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Nov 06 2024

9/10. Gave off a combination of Supertramp and Elton John vibes. Fantastic album.

Nov 08 2024

4/10. Had some good moments, but again, the screaming isn't for me.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 12 2024

8/10. Classics. Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall both amazing. Album as a whole very good but not super consistent for me.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Nov 13 2024

7/10. Enjoyable. Nothing super unique though.

Suede by Suede
Nov 14 2024

4/10. It was ok. They had an okay style of story telling but wasn’t really my thing.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Nov 15 2024

6/10. A classic song and classic band. I kind of get it but overall not really my thing.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 18 2024

7/10. Some great songs throughout, but overall went back-and-forth with it. Really enjoyed parts and other parts were 'fine'.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Nov 19 2024

7/10. Some classics. A genre that isn’t really for me but I appreciate this album.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Nov 22 2024

7/10. Some classics, and a good overall album but nothing blows me away with it.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 25 2024

6/10. Some good songs but I got bored at times too.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 26 2024

9/10. Fantastic and consistently fantastic all the way through. Actually gets better throughout I’d say.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Nov 27 2024

8/10. Good throughout, but the last song with the solos is really good and ups it to a 'Great' album!

Nov 28 2024

6/10. Probably close to a 6.5 but regardless — it started out great. Was thinking it’d lead to an 8 but it went the wrong direction for me from there.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Dec 02 2024

6/10. Fine. Nothing that excited me.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Dec 13 2024

3/10. Spiders made the playlist. There were some moments where I thought “wait a minute, does everybody need a mother fucker?” and then rethought that as loud monster-like noises rang from my speakers

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Dec 16 2024

8/10. Was great! Wasn’t super consistent for me which is why the 8, but loved a lot of parts of this. Loved the creativity.

Dec 17 2024

6/10. Got better as it went.

Dec 25 2024

Jan 06 2025
